Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 383 Yuan Lang's Butt Is Too Big

Some of the glaring sunlight vie to squeeze into the tall tree canopy, leaving only a small patch of light on the grass below.

There were even a few small spots of light that lingered on the passing Snow Tiger tribe orcs.

Yuan Lang felt the heat of the sun on his face and let out a soft breath: "It's too late to go back and gather the tribesmen to intercept them again. With our pursuit this time, the orcs from the Poison Scorpion Tribe and the Rock Salt Tribe will definitely hurry up and leave."

Since he couldn't stay, Yuan Lang was no longer depressed, but...

He clenched his fist; he had gained another reason to become stronger.

"Back to the tribe."

As soon as the orc finished speaking, he dashed ahead into the forest. The orc warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe watched his figure and their frustration dissipated considerably.

After letting out a few low growls, he followed Yuan Lang and galloped towards the tribe.

Meanwhile, in the Snow Tiger tribe, the dangers of yesterday had long been forgotten by the tribespeople.

After the busy trade fair, the tribes throughout the polar forest entered the harvest season.

The forest is teeming with fruits and wild vegetables, making hunting far easier than ever before.

During this season of abundant food, even some small tribes can eat their fill every day.

The Snow Tiger Tribe has also entered a busy season.

Autumn was also the tribe’s favorite season in previous years, but that was because there was an endless supply of food.

It is also a season when people rarely get to eat meat.

But this year is different. Having learned how to dry vegetables and fruits, the people have started to collect their favorite foods and make them into easy-to-preserve dried goods.

With the rise of various dried goods production, the weaving industry in the tribe has developed rapidly.

"Oh dear, how many straw bags can I weave from the longleaf grass I collected today? Can you give me the straw bags I asked for tomorrow? I don't have anything to put the dried vegetables and fruits I've dried at home in."

The female holding the longleaf grass pursed her lips somewhat shyly: "These past few days, apart from eating and sleeping, I've spent the rest of my time weaving. It will take another two days to dry these longleaf grasses."

However, we still have some roasted longleaf grass at home, so you can pick up the grass bag you requested tomorrow.

The female grinned happily upon hearing this: "Oh, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. If there weren't any straw bags to put them in, all my dried goods would have had to be stored on straw mats."

After saying that, he took a few fruits from the basket on his back and stuffed them into the arms of the female who was holding the long-leaved grass: "Then I won't keep you any longer. I still need to go back and make food. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he hummed a tune he couldn't even remember and left.

The female, clutching the longleaf grass, hugged the fruit in her arms tightly and hurried home.

Two little cubs were playing at the gate of the courtyard, their gray paws covered in mud.

Seeing its mother return, it immediately scrambled to its feet with a howl and ran towards her.

"Amu, Amu, Guoguo!"

"Guoguo, Amu!"

The two little ones were tugging at the vines around their mother's waist, their round eyes fixed on the fruit in her arms, and some unknown liquid was dripping from the corners of their lips.

"Auntie still has some long-leaf grass to put inside. Go wash your hands before you can eat the delicious fruit."

The two little cubs looked at the fresh fruit with reluctance, whimpering and wanting to enjoy the food ahead of time.

"Lady Wuyue once said that insects love dirty little cubs the most!"

After several attacks by Gu worms, if you were to ask the young cubs of the Snow Tiger Tribe what they fear most, Gu worms would definitely be number one.

Upon hearing their mother mention the insects they hated most, the two little ones immediately let go of their mother's swaying grass vines and ran into the yard to wash their hands.

The female maintained that image with half of her buttocks exposed as she walked into the yard, placed the long-leaved grass in her hand on the kitchen floor, and then took out the two fruits that the tribespeople had given her earlier.

After cleaning, take a fruit and cut it into four even pieces with a sharp clam knife.

The other one she put in the basket hanging on the wall. She didn't have time to go out and pick more, so she would save the remaining fruit for tomorrow.

After washing their little paws clean, the two little cubs eagerly ran into the kitchen, stretching out their much cleaner paws for Amu to inspect.

After patting the heads of the two cubs and praising them, the female handed the two little ones the fruit she had just cut.

Watching the two little ones eat until their eyes were squinted, the female felt sweeter than if she had eaten fruit herself.

In contrast to the happiness of the females, Wu Yue, standing in her own yard, looked rather listless.

For no other reason than that, having sturdy and warm stone houses to live in, the Snow Tiger tribe completely accepted Wu Yue as the next shaman, and treated her with the utmost respect. And so…

When Qingcao walked in carrying a basket, what she saw in the yard was a pile of green fruits that smelled strange... no, they should be called cucumbers now.

That's what Yue calls it. Although she doesn't know why green fruit is called cucumber, she just listens to what Yue says.

This is what Amu told her.

Seeing Wu Yue's tearful expression when she looked up, Qingcao silently hid the basket in her hands behind her back.

But Wu Yue had already turned around and looked over: "You're not here to deliver cucumbers too, are you?"

Qingcao chuckled dryly and handed over the basket he was carrying: "Because this is the time when green fruits ripen, so..."

"Put it on the stone table."

Wu Yue's voice was somewhat helpless: "The cucumbers that the clansmen sent a few days ago were all put in the warehouse. When I came back today, I smelled a strange odor and went to check. I found that many of the cucumbers had already gone bad."

Looking at the spoiled food, Wu Yue felt a pang of heartache.

Because the tribespeople were afraid she would refuse, they secretly put the food inside their houses. Unfortunately, the weather was too hot to keep out of the air, and the food spoiled in just a few days.

If it had been discovered earlier, it would have been shared with other tribesmen or eaten sooner.

“Last time, after Amu and the others scalded the cucumbers with water, they put them on straw mats to dry with the wild vegetables.”

At this point, Qingcao's expression twisted slightly: "But when I looked at them the next day, the cucumbers were covered in mold, sticky, and tasted very strange."

"You didn't just leave it there to dry in the sun, did you?"

Green Grass nodded very honestly: "Yes."

Wu Yue patted her friend on the shoulder: "You're lucky the cucumbers didn't jump up and come looking for you after you finished blanching and drying the whole thing."

Upon hearing this, Qingcao was instantly dumbfounded: "Jump...jump! A cucumber can jump?"

Haha, kid, isn't your focus a little off...?

"Go back and bury them in the soil. Those cucumbers have gone bad; eating them will make you sick."

Qingcao waved his hand dismissively: "I threw it away a long time ago. My stomach hurt after I ate one, and I had to squat in the toilet all day."

"I'll go find some herbs for you."

Wu Yue looked at her little friend with concern. This girl actually ate a rotten cucumber! Who gave her the courage? The Beast God?

Seeing this, Qingcao grabbed her arm and said, "It's all better now. You just need to squat in the toilet for a couple of days to get rid of the stomachache."

Just need to squat in the toilet for two days and it will be fine...

It's good to have a pit...

alright…

Seeing Qingcao's face, which looked so strong and healthy, unlike you, a weakling who gets sick all the time, Wu Yue wished she could just throw away the little bit of worry she had just felt. "Since you're so healthy, why don't you come and help me with the work?"

Wu Yue was secretly making her own plans.

Qingcao chuckled dryly, preparing to slip away: "Ah, I suddenly remembered, Mother told me to go back early."

But before she could take a step, the animal skin skirt around her waist was grabbed, and Wu Yue's laughter rang out: "Really? How about I go with you?"

I'm awesome!

A chill ran down Qingcao's spine as she recalled her mother's love and respect for Yue. If she knew he had run away...

The consequences would be far too unpleasant!
"Haha, nothing is more important than my friends at home. Don't worry about what you need to do, just leave it to me!"

Seeing how quickly her friend's expression changed, Wu Yue gave her a look that said, "You're pretty good."

He then pointed to the rotten cucumbers emitting a foul odor in the yard: "When you go home, please take these rotten cucumbers out and throw them away for me."

Green Grass looked at her usually ruthless friend with a suspicious expression: "That's it?"

"What? Do you want to do something else?"

As Wu Yue spoke, she prepared to get up.

Seeing this, Qingcao rushed to the pile of cucumbers that were emitting a strange smell, scooped them all into her basket, and ran away.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going to throw away the cucumbers."

The moment the words left his mouth, he had already run past the courtyards of several families.

Only a few lingering echoes remained in Wuyue's ears.

"Have I been exploiting my friends too much lately?"

Wu Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of conscience and reflected on her actions.

But the next second, when she saw the cucumber that Qingcao had just brought over on the stone table, her little face wrinkled up.

Wasting food is shameful, but as a single person, she really can't eat that much, especially with the weather so hot now; it'll spoil in two days at most.

"Why don't we dry them into cucumber slices? With such good sunshine, they can be stored for a long time once dried."

Wu Yue muttered to herself as she went into the kitchen and took out a wooden bucket.

After washing the cucumber, cut it into thin, even slices and put it into a wooden basin with salt.

"Alright, we can take them out to dry tomorrow."

After tidying up the kitchen, she couldn't help but frown and look towards the entrance of the tribe.

Why haven't Yuan Lang and the others returned yet? There's even no news of Tongzi.

"Call the dog system, make a sound if you're here!"

"Squeak~"

Wu Yue: "..."

She swore that if the dog system were here, she would definitely give it a good whack on the head.

Why haven't you come back yet?

Tongzi's listless voice echoed in my mind: "It's not that I didn't want to come back, it's because I was kidnapped!"

Wu Yue was startled: "You've been captured by the rock salt tribe's orcs? Yuan Lang and the others went to chase after the rock salt tribe's orcs. If you see them, take the opportunity to ask them for help."

“Calling for help is useless; the one who kidnapped me is Yuan Lang.”

"Host, I strongly suspect that Yuan Lang is trying to use me to blackmail you into becoming his partner."

The leader said solemnly.

Seeing that it can still ramble on about random things, you can tell that nothing's really wrong with them.

Wu Yue couldn't help but sneer: "Don't worry, if he makes such a request, I'll make him kill the hostage on the spot!"

"Host, how could you treat me like this? Am I no longer your most beloved system?"

"Enough with the nonsense, have you caught up with the Rock Salt Tribe orcs yet?"

The tassel hung on Yuan Lang's animal skin skirt and swayed in the wind: "We caught up with them, injured an orc, and Yuan Lang almost killed the witch of the rock salt tribe."

Almost?

Are you on your way back now?

Tongzi hummed in agreement: "They should arrive tonight. Host, that rock salt tribe witch seems to have known Yuan Lang for a long time, and she speaks in a rather strange way."

"Because the Scorpion Tribe intervened and let them go this time, there might be some hidden dangers."

Wu Yueqing hummed in agreement: "Hidden danger? Since it has already been left behind, we should find a way to deal with it. If we can't deal with it now, we can only become stronger, so strong that this hidden danger can never affect us again."

Rock Salt Tribe... Scorpion Tribe...

Wu Yue's watery eyes narrowed slightly...

"How's the thing you asked me to do going?"

The system was momentarily stunned when its host suddenly changed the subject, before it realized what its host was talking about.

The next second, Tongzi's unique, cunning laughter echoed in Wu Yue's mind.

"Hehe. Host, don't worry, the medicine packet you gave me was plentiful, I scattered it all over there, I reckon that witch can't escape."

"Okay, I'll give you rock ore to eat when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Tongzi, who was currently experiencing tears streaming down Yuan Lang's waistband, perked up and immediately felt that his back pain and leg soreness had disappeared. He could now travel thousands of meters without any problem.

As darkness fell, the open space in the middle of the Snow Tiger tribe remained bustling with activity.

Although they now have their own stone houses, everyone has come to enjoy the feeling of being together.

Several large bonfires were burning brightly, and close-knit tribesmen sat together, chatting and preparing their favorite foods.

Wu Yue sat with the Snow Tiger Witch and the Snow Tiger Clan Chief.

Snow Tiger Witch held a scalding hot roasted sweet potato in her hand, blowing on it as she peeled it. As the skin was peeled off, a rich, sweet aroma mixed with the unique fragrance of sweet potatoes wafted out.

Even the Snow Tiger Clan Chief couldn't help but reach out his hand.

As everyone was eating, the roars of patrolling orcs came from outside the tribe. After a moment of silence in the open space, someone shouted, "The warriors who were chasing the Rock Salt Tribe orcs have returned!"

Everyone stood up with a commotion. Except for a few females who stayed in the open space watching the fire, the rest of the tribespeople ran towards the entrance of the village.

The gloomy mood that Yuan Lang and his companions had been feeling along the way instantly brightened when they saw their clansmen surging towards them.

With a howl, the creature, which had been traveling for thousands of meters, broke free from Yuan Lang's waist and jumped into its host's arms.

"Ouch!"

Host, let me tell you, Yuan Lang, that orc's butt is so big that I don't even have a place to block the wind.
